Instrument Calibration and Repair
RSO has a licensed calibration laboratory in Laurel, Md. Instruments are calibrated using methods in accordance with ANSI N323-1997, US NRC Regulatory Guide 10.8, Rev 2, Appendix B, and as recommended by the instrument manufacturer. Sources used for calibration are traceable to the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). RSO calibrates survey meters and bench top instruments from all manufactures (Ludlum, Bicron, Victoreen, Johnson, Eberline, SEI, and others). RSO also calibrates and performance checks fixed monitors and vehicle monitoring systems, in the field. All calibrations are performed under Maryland license MD 33-021-01. Normal calibration turn around time is five working days or less from the date received to the date shipped. RSO can perform emergency calibrations with a one-day turn-around time. The calibration laboratory can also repair instruments from most of the major manufacturers.
